We have recently taken over a garden plot from one of our neighbours and you should see some of the stuff we've had growing in it this year, its been amazing. at the moment its got fantastic phlox, sedum and soli in bloom amonth ago it was astilbe, asclephia, mollis and lovely double red poppies, before that 4ft tall aconitum and huge orange poppies as well as an endless supply of foliage and lots of interesting fillers. I'm seriously thinking about starting a "grow your own" system for the business.


British AND Organic too!!

Might be the way forward

We need your help. Let us know about sources and suppliers of British Cut flowers, if you are a shop, stall or designer using them.

Send us pictures of your displays, the bouquets or arrangements.

The more you help us the more we can spread the word about the British Cut flower industry.

Let the scent of pride sweep the nation

Thank you in advance
well thats a bit weird, just went to your site and clicked on cut flower suppliers and guess what..... it only costs 39 DOLLARS to grow your own, thats not very british

Tregothnan foliage have started selling some cut flowers, they do a mixed box that looks quite tempting.

The idea of your website is great but it lacks credibility as it doesn't work properly. I thought it might be firefox, but it doesn't work in explorer either

Not supported by quango money

Ok we can only apologise for the google ads. We have little control over them and have put a disclaimer on various pages.

The ads have to be in place to fund the operation.... unless you know of a pot of money that can help.

We would love to operate the site without ads, but at these initial times surely you can forgive.

Better to have a site that tries to promote the British Cut Flower Industry than not.

Please forward any press releases, photographs of displays or plants to us so that they may be considered for inclusion. These can be sent via the contact us form on the site

The site is there for all of the British Cut Flower Industry. If you don't let us know about you, how can we include you.

Again if you know of any financial assistance that may be on offer to help spread the word, we would love to hear from you.
